Cut and Partially Remove Galvanized Pipe

What happens here

The existing galvanized water line, which is over 22 feet long, needs to be replaced. To gain access and leverage for removal, a section of the pipe is cut out using a reciprocating saw (Sawzall). Before making the cut, the pipe is temporarily supported with plastic straps to prevent it from dropping. However, the plastic strap breaks, emphasizing the need for stronger support or careful handling of heavy metal pipes.
